Added on May 17, 2012, 7:16 pmeither not enough light, not enough fert or not enough CO2.. mine was super slow last time.. put fert n CO2 n they fill up (well..almost) my tank relatively quick(i think)... i measure the growth of single stem ard 0.5 to 1cm per day...(yes... that is how 'lifeless' i am...hehe...

)
uuu... i tot u dose from bottle...see2 need to perah sendiri pula... no wonder cant find yuzu/khaki juice in bottle in almost every supermarket i went... T_T
cant be co2 problem coz only nano tank...
as for fert... im using some cheap paria fert i got from wholesale in petsmart last time lol. right now i dose 10 ml per week for 1ft tank. should i dose more? worry algae problem only...
maybe is light problem i think coz i using cheapo light as well... XD
will slow slow upgrade XD

that was one of the technique applied for algae-look-alike. not all mini fissiden can be used for this reason. as long as your tank already been dosed with liquid fertilizer. i prefer to put potassium first for the first till 3rd weeks after grind them all. you can check previous top 50 iaplc winners. some of them applied this technique. i think 2009.

don't mention riccia. this crap are fast growing plant even i don't put fertilizer. you can check my previos low tech tank. need to trim every 2 weeks at least. mine got riccia floating continent. LOL

that one of the point. sounds like brown algae. already clear out the debris? excess nitrates. what about light. should be high enough depend on your tank spec.

low on nutrien light, fertilizer, co2..might be nutrient inside soil already suck out.. had any sucker plant inside that tank?? glosso are matched with small sized substrate.. or.. co2 level

thats 1 more thing i wanna highlight. ive heard that riccia is a super fast growing plant but y my riccia like terbantut only? no growing process at all/duper uber damm slow growing process... =.=lll
